Isn't the whole five eyes argument moot because member states spy on citizens from the other countries and trade intel with each other?

Yeah, I've seen some fixes that gave me the wrong kind of goosebumps. I like his history videos, though, for instance the ones that talk about graphics modes for a given computer. Also, your bio says you don't shave. Sure you&#x27

Think about it the other way: It's an opportunity to talk about lookup tables, loop unrolling and tricks like that. Also, now different people are pitching in with their own takes, so it turned into a bit of friendly competition.

Maybe it's because he's a bit of a gun nut on the side? He did some computer videos casually carrying a rifle of some kind slung over his shoulder. I still enjoy his videos.

This should be the default behavior. Microsoft deliberately chose not to because keeping your files in the cloud is a barrier to easy switching.

Reminds me to put Tautulli on Tailscale now. Just reviewed my port openings.

I agree. However, it's gotten so bad that people are calling out AI slop on things they just don't care for — or mistake human writing for AI — which paradoxically becomes its own red flag to ignore the comment, even if there are

I think the problem is that half the time the callouts are incorrect (edgelords trying to be clever) or irrelevant (non-native speakers using AI to translate or clarify).

I now use both. DynIP for public-facing services (yeah I still have a few), and Tailscale for what only I need to access. Drastically reduced my attack surface. Luckily I don't have to deal with CGNAT.

I also write my own copy. (You're absolutely right!) But this trend on HN of calling out everything as AI slop is a bit tiring.

This can't be stated often enough. Society, diet, education and technology changes, but we've biologically had the same makeup for thousands of, if not more, years. Just because they're dead doesn't mean they were idiots

I didn't even notice that bit. What broke the show for me was some hot peroxide blonde doing what was really done by a slightly dumpy guy in an isolated office. I just can't watch shows that fictionalize history from my field of w

That is doable. Most of my work was regexp and repetitive stuff. And the typograhpy stuff is achievable with the current state of the art models. Not that I remember what I did, it was 30 years ago.

I remember printing out project Gutenberg books in the mid-90s, four regular pages to an A4 page, double-sided on my inkjet. I had a background in typography, so I made it work. Any yes, the text needed a lot of processing to make it right.

Where does it say it was written by an LLM? This felt like human writing to me. I could be wrong, of course.

Not OP, but 2hr battery time for video playback vs 20hr would be the entire point of this thread. HW decoding is an order of magnitude more efficient.

The rule-ignoring and the lying started inside the plants before anybody outside got involved. Then it just spread like cancer.

I've lived through three major nuclear incidents, and what they had in common, regardless of the political systems of the US, The Soviet Union or Japan, was not the transparency, it was the lying. It started immediately after each in
